Any forfeiture law should state proceeds would go to a third party. Having the same party (police) that implements the law benefiting from it is just plain wrong.
- chmod775 6y agoForfeiture laws like that should not exist if you want to have separation of powers. It's a form of punishment and thus should only be a power wielded by the judicative, for reasons neatly demonstrated by Minnesota police.

Someone should do a little more digging into that... wouldn't doubt it if the owners of some of those storage facilities have connections with some of the people seizing the vehicles..
